Next to falling out of bed, those Charlie Horses are the worst! We sometimes get those if we've been out doing a lot of work, or sometimes even after taking a long walk. Probably couldn't do this if pregnant, but you can sit up, straighten your legs and pull back on your toes to get rid of those! Oh, you're right, She Bear.

Like everything else, we had too many clothes when we moved here. I'm culling all of that as well. We do have a large closet with shelves. I could do something else, but the dresser is more sentimental to me than really necessary. Thanks for reading Living Large and weighing in the conversation! Your set up sounds sensible, Mary Anne.

I'm already back on the walks with the dogs. I think I read once that tripping over animals is one of the most common mishaps that cause broken bones. I had to have a fatty tumor removed from one foot once and just as I was up and walking again, I hit a rock just like you and fell. The dogs were on a leash and I thought they were going to drag me all the way down the sidewalk! Luckily, I didn't snap a bone, but it was severely sprained. Glad you're all mended now.

What a terrible way to wake up. I can't remember falling out of bed, but I've been woken up with a terrible cramp in my calf, then having to jump out of bed quickly to stand on it. This was when I was very pregnant. Another terrible way to wake up! Ouch! What a terrible way to wake up.

You can just barely get in bed from either side. Neither of us wanted to be flush against the wall. My husband uses a cedar chest for a night stand so he can put stuff inside it from the top. It is flush against the wall and the bed. Then we use open bookshelves for our clothes, books, music, etc. Clothes are in baskets on the shelves. When we need something, we take the basket off the shelf, put it on the bed and then return it. Love your blog and really sorry about your foot. Don't bother having the toe xrayed. I've had six broken toes and all they do is tape it to the next one for stability until it heals. (unless of course, it's truly dislocated or breaks the skin) We also do not have room for a dresser in our bedroom (although we do have a king-sized bed).

I broke 2 metatarsal (the longer bones in the foot) two years ago. Long story short, I was running after a dog and landed just right on a rock, and snap. Yes, some choice words were spoken. I felt so lucky not to need surgery but got to wear a knee-high ski boot looking thing for 6 weeks. This was a better option then a cast. It was an adventure driving a standard transmission and some tending to some other necessaries at the farm. An inconveince but life keeps going. I hope yours is nothing serious and you're up and running soon. Have a great day! Kerri,

Maybe we're all on well water!? Thanks for making me smile, Sandy! :) As I told BJ, it's nice to know I'm not the only one tumbling out of bed. Maybe we're all on well water!?

This house was never meant to be a full time residence, or I would have planned it a lot better. I was trying to have my cake. The dresser is an antique heirloom of my mothers and the only piece I got to bring in the house. The rest of it is in the storage building collecting mildew and I'm coming to terms with letting it all go (more on that on Friday). Anyway, when funds allow, I'm planning some built-ins.
